Key Developments & ImplicationsConsumers are increasingly basing their buying decisions on whether a product was sourced, manufactured, and transported in a fair and responsible manner. Recent legislation, such as the European Union’s ban on the use of plastic packaging by 2030, and commitments by major cities to become carbon neutral are further challenging companies to move from traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices to place sustainability at the core of their business. Looking ahead, innovation in circular logistics infrastructure and the adoption of digital identifiers as well as IoT, blockchain, and other traceability technologies will further accelerate fair and responsible behavior along supply chains.
